Using non-ASCII characters:
Solution: Use ASCII characters to ensure maximum compatibility across different devices and browsers.
Using inline JavaScript:
Solution: Move JavaScript code into a separate file or use a modern framework like React or Vue to create more organized and maintainable code.
Using duplicate IDs:
Solution: Use unique IDs for each element on a page to prevent conflicts and ensure that JavaScript and CSS selectors work as intended.
Not specifying character encoding:
Solution: Specify the character encoding of your HTML document using the meta charset tag to ensure that special characters are displayed correctly.
Overusing heading tags:
Solution: Use heading tags (h1-h6) appropriately and make sure each one is only used once per page to avoid confusion for users and search engines.
Ignoring responsive design:
Solution: Use responsive design techniques such as media queries to make sure your site looks good on all devices and screen sizes.
Forgetting to close self-closing tags:
Solution: Make sure that all self-closing tags are closed with a forward slash (/) at the end, such as <img src=”image.png” alt=”description” />.
Using too many nested elements:
Solution: Avoid using too many nested elements as it can slow down your page load time and make your code more difficult to read and maintain.
Using non-standard HTML:
Solution: Stick to standard HTML syntax and avoid using non-standard elements or attributes that may not be recognized by all browsers.
Not optimizing images:
Solution: Optimize images by reducing their size and using appropriate file formats to improve page load times and overall user experience.
